Yes. These are known as "signal flow disciplines" and I think they're used when you don't care to enforce KCL and KVL, you are just propagating a value. Some simulators may be able to simulate this more efficiently. I haven't used this capability myself.

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.
